Tongren, Guizhou · Zhongnanmen Ancient City Night View
Besides Mount Fanjing, there is another highly recommended place in Tongren — Zhongnanmen Ancient City.
The original plan was to visit Mount Fanjing and Zhongnanmen Ancient City, but due to bad weather, I only went to Zhongnanmen Ancient City. It is an underrated beautiful tourist spot that is very popular during the Chinese New Year period. There are quite a lot of people at night, and there are activities 🈶, where you can watch a grand gathering of intangible cultural heritage. The alleys in the ancient city are numerous, each with its own unique characteristics, making it very suitable for photography. You can try shooting from multiple angles for great results.
I arrived in Tongren after 5 pm and booked a hotel near Zhongnanmen Ancient City, which is over 800 meters away from the ancient city, so I didn't have to worry about getting back too late at night.
This ancient city gave me many surprises, it really felt like a dream back to the Han and Tang dynasties, so beautiful

Tongren Ancient City is surrounded by water on three sides, surrounded by mountains and rivers. It is the only native historical district in Tongren. Humanistic landscape lovers can go and see it. I highly recommend staying at Jinjiang Hotel in the city, just a ten-minute walk away. You can rent ethnic costumes to take pictures, or taste local delicious snacks.

East, south and west face water, only the north is surrounded by mountains, the terrain is dangerous, easy to guard and difficult to attack. The two rivers of Tongren Ancient City are born because of water. History records that during the Yuan Dynasty, fishermen got three Confucian, Shi, and Dao Tongren at the confluence of the big and small rivers outside the ancient city, so the ancient city got its name. New archaeology shows that around 3,000 years ago, the two sides of the Jinjiang River in Tongren have been densely populated and culturally prosperous. During the Ming and Qing Dynasties, they had been traveling by boat, and there were many merchants and clubs. They enjoyed the reputation of "Hudong Shangzhan".
